After nearly four years on WWE's main roster, it was announced Friday that Diva AJ Lee has decided to retire from professional wrestling.
WWE's Twitter account released the official announcement:
The 28-year-old Union City, New Jersey, native leaves the company as a three-time Divas champion and one of WWE's most successful female wrestlers in recent memory.
AJ teamed with Paige to defeat Nikki and Brie Bella on Sunday at WrestleMania 31, and it turns out that it will stand as the final big match of her WWE career.
In addition to her in-ring exploits, AJ is the wife of former WWE Superstar and current UFC fighter CM Punk. It is no secret that Punk and WWE have been embroiled in a feud since he left the promotion in 2014 following the Royal Rumble.
This is a huge loss to the WWE Divas division and pro wrestling as a whole. I am sure it is difficult for her to work there with all that has been going on between her husband and the WWE. Best of luck to AJ.
